Just days before Halloween, NightLife will be overrun with zombies! Take a crash course in zombie neuroscience with Zombie Research Society advisor Bradley Voytek, and learn how zombie-like symptoms would manifest themselves in real life.

You won’t want to miss horror maven and hostess Peaches Christ and her Zombie Drag Show and Costume Contest (un-dead attire encouraged!). And dance the night away at Miss Misery's "Zombie Prom".

Undead makeup artists will be on hand for those who want to channel their inner zombie. Plus, check out real brain specimens, hear from horror author Mira Grant, sample the latest in zombie video games, even go on a zombie apocalypse adventure through the museum.

In the planetarium, catch the Life and Death of Stars at 6:30 and discover how some stars live on as “zombies” in the after-life, followed by two showings of Life: A Cosmic Story. Music by DJ Tomas Diablo. Zombie NigthLife is a Bay Area Science Festival event. It's going to be a night to dismember!
